Wayward
by Dana Spiotta
I thought I would like this much more than I did. As I'm also a 53 year old woman going through peri-menopause, I was looking forward to reading about how another woman was navigating this obnoxious second adolescence. I loved how it started with her leaving her husband and buying a house because it's such a bold move (not that I'm thinking about leaving my husband and buying a house. He's adorable and I love him), but it very quickly devolved into just a mishmash of every issue facing women today and didn't bring any real insight to any of them. And Sam was a very unlikable person. She was selfish and whiny and so weirdly obsessed with her daughter. I was hoping to walk away with some new knowledge about how to get through this awkward time of life and all I got was a story about a spoiled, unlikable, super judgmental rich lady who thinks way too highly of herself.
